I should add that the individual in control of the old Pygame accounts (not the creator of Pygame btw) did a lot to move Pygame forward in the 2010s. He did a lot for the community and it's sad how things turned out.

[piguman]

yea what the hell, you can't just delete someone's entire game library just like that because they tried out another game making library that isn't yours

[skysurfer_kon]

Damn, I didn't know pygame had lore, history and backstory lmao
fr tho, thanks for sharing this with the community. It's crazy how things can change, but it's also really nice to know that there's a better pygame version with these useful things I've been searching for like performance and flexibility. I'll be using pygame-ce now. Thanks a lot for doing what you do, you're a big inspiration

[raydin]

I just installed pygame-ce and was pleasantly surprised (not that I should have been lol) that my project that uses it runs faster

Your work has come so far in the last few years since the old pygame discord days. I really admire what you are accomplishing! It's kind of sad what's happened to the original pygame community, but I'm really excited about the changes being made in CE as it progresses.

[KennedyRichard]

I did the same as you. Waited a bit to see how things would go and only then made the final decision to switch to pygame-ce (the next release of my apps should adopt it).

I also think you approached the issue rather responsibly in the video, avoiding gratuitous bashing and just sticking to the facts.

[MastermindAtWork]

It's crazy that I came back to this video, cause the same issues Pygame had with you and other devs is the same issues Godot is currently facing. It's a shame when history repeats itself...

[Skeffles]

It sucks that the Pygame controller has deleted your games but at least CE exists and you can still make great games. The CE community sounds great already and it'll be cool to see what games come from them.

[daweiisgood]

Wow, had no idea that noise was going on. Im switching over to CE in a heartbeat.

[thebvfreak]

by far the best pygame youtuber

change my mind

[BackrubBucks]

Thanks for the upload DFP! Good to see your uploads, and would hope to see more in the future.

[jermania]

Sounds like the admin at pygame is just "Petty, Tom Petty...". Thanks for the update and insight to CE. If it's good enough for DFP it's good enough for me.

Quite new hobby programmer here. Heard of pygame-ce today for the first time and also will use it for my little python game projects from now on. It's sad how some people ruin good things with their power trips. Also you really stayed very calm and chose gentle words for that topic. Happy to go through your videos in the next time, thanks :)

[emperor]

i had to keep rewinding cuz i was distracted by the gameplay. your new game looks sick!

[gualdim]

Thanks for the heads up! I'm eager to see your new project about platform for developers!!!

[costelinha]

While I don't mind the creator of pygame wanting to share solidarity for a political cause. I also don't think he even needed to take the site down for that in the first place. He could make just change add a banner on the website, or change the colors or change the logo for a short period of time, while keeping the site up.



Or he could have just used his twitter account for that...

[roddripf]

I found it very strange to have just simple projects on the main page, documentation and other things. Since there are great games on pygame on YouTube. Thanks for sharing these questions, from now on I will only use pygame-ce.

[nostalgiacore]

Thank you for this just started making a new game recently happy to switch to this very simple too

[doxed]

The FRect() is the thumbnail is what made me click on this video, cause that's exactly what I coded the other day for my game to run on meters instead of pixels.

its crazy how childish and power hungry someone can be. We're talking about a python module here and he's destroying his entire reputation over it.
